FAQs
What does the brown handle indicate?
In professional food safety systems, color coding helps identify tools for specific food types to prevent cross-contamination; check your facility's local color-coding chart for the brown designation.
Is this knife dishwasher safe?
Yes, this model is fully dishwasher safe, though we recommend hand washing to preserve the sharpness of the blade over time.
Can I use this for meat?
While the blade can cut through various foods, it is primarily designed for vegetables and fruits. Using it for meat may violate your kitchen's color-coding safety protocols.
What is the blade length?
The blade measures 10.2cm (approximately 4 inches).
How heavy is the knife?
The knife weighs 27g, making it exceptionally lightweight and easy to handle.
What is the Rockwell hardness rating?
The blade has a Rockwell hardness rating of 52-57°, which is optimized for professional durability and consistent cutting performance.
Troubleshooting
Knife feels dull after heavy use
While serrated blades are difficult to sharpen manually, a serrated-specific sharpening rod can be used to realign the teeth.
Handle surface becomes slippery
Ensure the handle is fully dried after washing to maintain the effectiveness of the soft-grip nylon texture.
